Assembling toy block

Abstract

The present invention relates to an assembling toy block structure that is capable of easily performing a releasing operation for toy blocks coupled to each other with a relatively small force. The assembling toy block structure includes at least one or more polyhedron-shaped toy blocks assembled to each other to make a desired toy form and further includes generally cable-shaped clay blocks made of a material having flexibility with which they are freely bent and rigidity with which they are resistant to external forces after bent.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An assembling toy block system comprising:
 at least one or more polyhedral-shaped toy blocks ( 100 ); and 
 clay blocks ( 50 ) configured to be coupled to the at least one or more toy blocks ( 100 ), 
 wherein each toy block includes: 
 fastening grooves ( 10 ) formed on at least two lateral sides thereof, each fastening groove ( 10 ) having an open top end with an opening ( 16 ) accessible from an upper side of the toy block and a closed bottom end at the respective lateral sides of the toy block; 
 side female coupling protrusions ( 12 ) protruding from the fastening grooves ( 10 ) and each having at least one or more insertion portions ( 14 ) concavedly formed along an outer periphery thereof; 
 a front male coupling protrusion ( 18 ) protruding from a front surface thereof; and 
 at least one or more top female coupling protrusions ( 30 ) protruding from a top surface of the toy block and each having at least one or more insertion portions ( 32 ) concavedly formed along an outer periphery thereof. 
 
     
     
       2. The assembling toy block system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the clay blocks ( 50 ) are configured to be coupled to the at least one or more insertion portions ( 14 ) of the side female coupling protrusions ( 12 ), the at least one or more insertion portions ( 32 ) of the at least one or more top female coupling protrusions ( 30 ), or the front male coupling protrusion ( 18 ), 
 wherein each clay block ( 50 ) comprises: 
 a metal wire ( 52 ) serving as a core and having rigidity so that the clay block ( 50 ) is to be kept in a bent shape; 
 a PVC coating material ( 54 ) covered on an outer periphery of the metal wire ( 52 ); 
 a cushion member ( 56 ) made of a silicone or resin material and covered on an outer periphery of the PVC coating material ( 54 ); and 
 connection caps ( 58 ) made of an ABS material, coupled to two opposite terminal ends of the cushion member ( 56 ), and having coupling protrusions ( 60 ) protruding therefrom to allow the clay block ( 50 ) to be assembled to the toy block ( 100 ) or another clay block ( 50 ).
